The kids in the wealthier schools must be getting a better education.[/b] In the high FARMS, high ESOL schools, the teachers have more work to do with that population, bringing them up to par. What happens with the kids who are further ahead? I doubt they get as much challenging work as the high SES schools. Title 1 teachers have to collect, interpret and discuss data until they are blue in the face. How in the hell can they reach and improve every single student while meeting the demands of admin?[/quote]

Not according to their ever-complaining parents on DCUM, they're not.

Plus it's not like kids are identical widgets in a simple input-output model. Kids from affluent families have problems in school too.[/quote]

+1 I see folks all the time on DCUM who take pains to point out they are in a "W cluster" and who are complaining about stuff that just doesn't happen at our east county Focus School. I've also noticed that the weakest teachers that wash out of our school end up in Bethesda and Potomac. We almost never lose experienced teachers to the western part of the county (it has never happened in our 10 years of MCPS) but we lose first-year teachers all the time, which is no major loss.
